The freedom he praises is the freedom of the very rich and well-connected to impose their success on the less fortunate
Yet despite this, the people who are not the very rich and well-connected are far more secure in the Anglophone world. I've lived in various places around the world and, whilst it's always possible for everything you have to be taken from you, this is far less likely in the UK, the US, Singapore etc than in Peru, Argentina, China, Russia and so on.
Whilst it's true that the law works better for the rich everywhere, it's less true in the US, the UK, Singapore etc etc.
It takes a special kind of myopia
Much like your myopia. The Anglophone world isn't perfect. It's a lot better than the vast majority of the rest of the world.
(With apologies to Western Europe, where things are also pretty good :p )
